Ben Franklin said, "Guests, like fish, begin to smell in three days." This man never had ducks. About two weeks ago, we had a couple of visitors:
It was always a male and female and they were interesting to watch, and cute. Who doesn't like ducks? While I was out of town last week, Robert said they came back and brought a couple of friends. I like to think that my pool is G-Rated, but I think they may view our backyard oasis as The Grotto at the Playboy Mansion. So, we kind of enjoyed our visitors and let them party at their leisure until I noticed that they were not picking up after themselves. Oh, and we aren't charging them anything and never asked for a deposit.
This is how they repay our generosity:
My pool is cleaned every Tuesday. The poor pool guy doesn't know what he's in for this week.
Now I don't know what this duck ate for lunch, but he has a serious GI problem.
I'm thinking he should probably schedule himself for a scope because this is just not right. If anyone has any ideas how to get rid of unwanted Grotto guests, please let me know. Those ideas should not involve a firearm of any kind, because they are still really cute even if they are disgusting.

THat last picture looks like a melted Hershey's kiss? This is not a new problem for you with the ducks except now they leave 'report'. Krys
You have a pool? I'm coming to stay at your house!
You can come anytime, my friend.
I have two words for you "Air Horn". Your neighbors will take a while to recover but the ducks will be gone. Either that or throw stale bread in your neighbors yard/pool and hope they go live over there!
